What Root Source does
Mission
Root Source is a primarily web based organization that exists to enable, encourage and enrich relationships between pro-israel christians and jews on a basis of mutual respect and love. What we have in common is greater than what separates us! We address the messianic times vision of isaiah 11:9: ""...the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the lord as the waters cover the sea."" our flagship program brings knowledgeable, authentic israeli teachers and inquisitive christians together to study the jewish texts and concepts that are foundational to christian faith. As a foundation for all this, Root Source builds bridges of friendship and fellowship between the jewish and christian faith communities, in our effort to reverse two thousand years of animosity and conflict.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Christian-jewish engagement project: online events, meetings, recordings, newsletters, books, symposia and teachings. Over fifteen thousand christians impacted.

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $110,702.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $91k to $84k (−8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of ROOT SOURCE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $15k → $39k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ROOT SOURCE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ROOT SOURCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ROOT SOURCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 89% · 2023 74% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
85% of ROOT SOURCE's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
ROOT SOURCE's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
